Oklahoma Sooners Football Hot Links: Lincoln Riley forced to defend himself for being right

Welp, it wouldn’t be the offseason without a little shots-fired drama to stir everybody up.

So here’s what’s going on — Lincoln Riley was doing a radio interview with Danny Kanell and Taylor Zarzour, and during that interview Riley pointed out how a great defensive team like Georgia would likely have more difficulty defending the opposition if they had to face the offenses in the Big 12 on a weekly basis. Riley’s direct quote is as follows:

From OU head coach Lincoln Riley just now on @ESPNUonSiriusXM talking with me and @TaylorZarzour about how difficult it is to play defense in the Big 12:

"If you throw Georgia in the Big 12 every year there is no way they are a Top 5 defense in the country"— Danny Kanell (@dannykanell) July 3, 2018

C’mon, people, there’s really nothing to see here.
